  • Brightfinger of Netheril is assassinated in Canlespiere by the Ashwind Assassins, so named for their calling card of leaving nothing but intermingled ashes of their victums in their wake.

    With all of the interest that other arcanists paid on creating spells that blew things up, Brightfinger was amazed that the archwizards weren't demanding a more practical application for magic use. Taking his lead from a priest he grew up with, he started experimenting with giving arcanists some of the useful magics that priests wielded.

    While he did create a spell produced light, he earned acclaim among his peers for creating Brightfinger's dancers, a spell that created "mischievous" light sources. He was so impressed that the other arcanists could be intrigued at such a spell that he set to work on a more improved version that would detonate when someone followed it. It's unknown whether he actually finished or not. »
